Again, STOP equating this vermin with the rest of New Orleans. You're only showing your abject ignorance.

You are correct, sir! Don't sweat any negative feedback: Truth is an absolute defense.

but I do believe that He uses disasters such as this to get people's attention.

Maybe He should just get some advertizing time on FOX news.

" I hope they bring their weapons."

bringing them is good..using them is more effective. And i have a feeling that orders for the use of deadly force will be only under extrordinary peorsonal risk.

Liberals have saddled all kinds of poor people with that attitude. And all kinds of kids have been sold that bill of goods about that culture. Ever met a "wigger?"


Beyond those observations, I agree with you.

I agree that the lack of organization and communication speaks volumes about lack of leadership at the state and local level. Unfortunately, many will blame Bush.

I think the shots rang out and someone said, "I'm not give up my 50 yard line seats".

"Yes, S*&^ happens.... but what is going on in N.O. right now is because of evil... not hurricanes!!!!"




I see. So you believe your deity did this? To what point?

And what of the Georgia and Alabama coasts? More evil? What of the churches that have been destroyed? More evil?

I can see evil, too, but I'm seeing it in somewhat a different place than you are....

Well, these armed thugs are definitely evil in my book; the hurricane was just nature rolling dice (big, heavy dice..) I didn't mean to direct that at you! It was just your post that inspired me. I thought I'd changed the heading to "All"..

Their claim: the locals didn't want to rock the "tourist dollar" boat, so kept the forecasts mild.

Amazing. So. Florida is a liberal hell-hole, and equally dependent on tourism, but we have weatherman on the local channels who literally spaz out if a big storm pops up anywhere during hurricane season.

Still, we don't rely on the locals alone -- there's always the weather channel, and the NHC via the net. Even with that, there's no advance certainty as to exact landfall, as Katrina and a host of other storms have proved.

The old adage applies: hope for the best, but make damn sure you're prepared -- or long gone -- for the worst

Not if we hammer it home that this is the result of liberal social engineering. The cradle to grave entitlement mentality is bearing it's ugly fruit. This is our duty so that we can actually make some changes.

So that's your deity? One who punishes good people because there are some bad ones? No thanks!

That is pretty much exactly what the bible says: In many instances, when the evil are punished the good die right along with them. The punishment is mostly what happens after death, and it is the same with the reward for goodness. People pointing to the hurricane as God's judgement are kind of missing the point. Being killed in a hurricane is more of an arrest than a punishment. If you aren't guilty, you go to a place better than any you have ever known. If you are guilty, you are thrown in a worse place than any you have ever known to await trial, and it only gets worse from there.

The Christian belief in God requires that you be ok with your own death as long as it is serving God's ends anyway. And the other side of that belief is that God will take care of good people after death.

But of the finger pointing and judging, Jesus did say in reference to one disaster that you had better spend your time preparing yourself for you own death rather than gloating over the death of others. In many cases, those who imagine themselves righteous and pleasing to God are as dead wrong as they can be.

NYers have been known to fire shots at firefighters coming to their rescue.

Nyers have been known to drop cinder blocks on the heads of firefighters coming to their rescue.

Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld got one of the murderous miscreants acquitted for dropping a cinder block on a fireman and nearly killing him.

NYers love their criminals.
